10 1/2 weeks old!

I was going to post something when Riley turned 2 months old, but that obviously didn't happen.  So here we are at almost 11 weeks.  Oh well

Riley Stats

Weight: 13 pounds 1 ounce (on February 24)

Weight of car seat with Riley in it: about 25 pounds

Size of Lindsay's biceps from carrying him up and down 3 flights of stairs: HUGE! Well, pretty big compared to what they have looked like :)

Length: 24.5 inches

Clothes size: 0-3 month, but not for long

Eyes:  Starting to look blue!

Sleeping: He's a night owl-- wonder where that came from.  For about a month now he won't stay asleep until 2:00 at night.  The last few nights he has slept from about 2:00 to 7:00, then eats and falls right back to sleep until 10:00.  Then in the day he sleeps when he wants.  Oh, and at night he sleeps in his car seat- that's where he will stay asleep.  That probably means we are bad parents but I don't care.

New Skills:

• Smiling (for a few weeks now)

• He can get his hands to his mouth to suck on them
• He is also making a lot of new sounds
• Drooling- so much drooling (I don't really know if that's a skill, more like a fact)
• He's very aware at what is going on 
• His legs are strong, and he wants to be able to sit.  According to the doctor he acts like a 4 month old.  We will soon need to worry about baby proofing our apartment, not too excited about that.

Favorite things:

• His binky

• Anything with a screen

Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go:  and when he is old, he will not depart from it

Proverbs 22:6  Train up a child in the way he should go:

 and when he is old, he will not depart from it

• Helping fold the clothes

• Spitting up and then rubbing his face in it

 He's getting more fun everyday!
